Intel® Kiosk Peripheral Management Utility (Intel® KPM Utility)

Overview

The Intel® Kiosk Peripheral Management Utility (Intel® KPM Utility) enables a smarter and more efficient way to deploy Intel®-based kiosk systems. The Intel KPM Utility provides tools to directly integrate into kiosk system designs, enabling more holistic monitoring and control over USB-based peripheral devices.

On kiosk systems with Intel vPro® technology, the Intel KPM Utility can remotely manage in-band peripheral devices and resolve their issues without the need to physically access the kiosk systems, which saves costly onsite IT service calls.
